I HAVE been following in the letters page the views of a few Muslims, and the views of a few non Muslims.
Although some good points have been raised on both sides in the past, I now, nevertheless, fear for these correspondents’ sanity.
Letting such an emotive subject take over your life, forever researching to score points against your imaginary opponent as they must do, only makes for bitterness not to mention a coronary.
It all started with a fairly civilised debate, but now it has descended into a mud slinging match. I cringe at what is said sometimes.
Is it too much to ask for these people to find some common ground, and I look forward to the letter that says we have taken it as far as we can, let’s now be friends.
